Weekend Hurricane Sandy Relief Effort Updates

Just reporting that all of us birds were lucky to have fared well through the storm, but obviously there is tremendously urgent need for help in parts of the city that were hit. Here’s a collection of useful links we’ve compiled for those who might have some free time to help out or items to donate this weekend. One of the amazing parts of this storm has been to watch the strength of the community response, often with neighbors helping neighbors even before federal aid could arrive. Below are some ways you can connect to those grassroots efforts and make a real difference right away!

Updates from Safe Horizon about open programs (most re-opened November 1)

There will be a stoop sale this Saturday in Bed Stuy called “Boroughs without Borders,” in honor of the victims of Hurricane Sandy. One hundred percent of the proceeds will be donated to the victims. It will take place Saturday, Nov. 3, from 9 am to 5 pm at 525 Halsey Street (between Stuyvesant and Malcolm X).
